EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA

Rexnord considers EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA as indicators of operating performance.  EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of performance and it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the industry.  EBITDA is also presented and compared by analysts and investors in evaluating the performance of issuers of “high yield” securities because it is a common measure of the ability to meet debt service obligations.  Other companies in the industry may calculate EBITDA differently.  EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.

Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus the respective additional adjustments noted in the tables above.  We believe Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, as compared to EBITDA, is a useful performance measure because the additional adjustments either (i) reflect earnings and expenses we consider non-representative of the ongoing business for the reasons specified in the footnotes above or (ii) are useful for purposes of comparing our results to other companies in the industry.  Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

(c) Rexnord will need to obtain financing for $295 million to purchase the equity of Xxxx and an additional $17 million to cover transaction fees and expenses, for a total debt requirement of $312 million. Rexnord is proposing to amend its existing credit facility and add additional Term Loan B debt to finance the transaction. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, Rexnord repaid $31 million of its existing Term Loan B leaving $275 million outstanding as of March 31, 2005. Below are key proposed terms of the amended credit facility.
